AX in Nürburgring

[ModelJT]

No takole je pa en dan en AX 1.4 D peljal po Nürburgringu in dosegel čas 9 minut in 55 sekund.

You want to lap the Nurburgring in less than 10 minutes. What car do you choose to give yourself a challenge and keep things interesting? A 52hp, 1.4-litre diesel Citroen AX, of course...

Now, an AX GT or GTI we could understand, but a naturally aspirated diesel? Surely not.

It seems one Youtube user was determined to break the 10-minute barrier though - and finally, after seven years, 118 laps, nine engines and five gearboxes, at 8:37am on August 17 2013, said AX enthusiast nailed his goal with a 9min 55sec Bridge to Gantry lap.

Apart from some sticky Yokohama AO48s, a small increase in fuel pressure, a strut bar (apparently because of the "mileage of the body") and an aluminium intake from the top-spec 1.5D engine to avoid said turret brace, the AX was mechanically stock.

Even with fully independent suspension at the rear and tipping the scales at just 720kg - thanks to a completely stripped out interior - it's quite an achievement. From the montage at the end of the video it seems driver and AX built up quite a bond, with the owner even sleeping in it in his quest to bag "the perfect lap."

Drzi, ampak to je pa druga umetnost. Tisti pravi vozniki raje gredo vozit navsezgodaj zjutraj, saj je cez dan preprosto prevec gnece ...
